The NBA's 18th Draft is a big year for the draft, and the same rookies like Trae Young, Doncic, Jalen Jr. and other players have become the core of the team, but the bagley of the list has still not fulfilled its potential. Bagley was the proudest boy of heaven before the draft, he led Duke University to a blue whirlwind in the NCAA, and was once the "first high school student in the United States" that year.
Now, three and a half years later, Bagley III still hasn't cashed in on his talent. He averaged 14.9 points and 7.6 rebounds in the first 25 minutes per game, but in the next two seasons, his efficiency and stats were worse than a year due to injuries and the Kings' team.
Despite the constant injuries, his excellent physical condition and athleticism have always been his greatest strengths. The reason why Bagley has not become a star at this stage is because his scoring method is too single, and he is not proficient in other techniques except for the basket attack frame using athletic ability.
The Kings' loss of patience to trade him to the Detroit Pistons before the trade deadline is also a new beginning, which has brought a qualitative improvement to the quality of the Pistons' blocking offense in recent games, and the number of playing hours is also increasing. The combination of Bagley and Cunningham also deserves more expectations, and with the cooperation of excellent defenders, Bagley can continue to improve and gradually cash in on its talents.
